Heating decides how many weeks a year your pool is actually pleasant to swim in, and for a Darkes Forest home the right system can roughly double that window. The three options each suit different priorities. Solar heating sends pool water through roof-mounted collectors that the Illawarra sun warms before it flows back, giving the lowest running cost of all and excellent results on sunny Wollongong sites, though its performance rises and falls with the weather. Heat pumps pull latent heat from the air and pump it into the pool, offering dependable, set-and-hold temperatures well into the shoulder seasons at a moderate cost to run. Gas heating warms the water the fastest and works regardless of sun or air temperature, which is ideal when a pool needs to be ready quickly, at the price of the highest running costs. Getting the Pool Heating & Solar sized right is essential, so we calculate the heat load from the pool's volume and exposed surface and match the unit to it, avoiding the wasted energy of an oversized system or the constant struggle of an undersized one. A pool cover is the natural partner to the Pool Heating & Solar: evaporation is where most of the heat goes, and a cover keeps it in, lowering bills and easing the load on the equipment. Many Darkes Forest owners land on solar combined with a cover for economy, stepping up to a heat pump where they want to swim through winter. After looking at your roof, your equipment area and your usage pattern, we recommend and install the heating that delivers the most swimming days for your Wollongong pool without an unreasonable energy bill.
